I am 28 years old living in Kayole

Interests

I am 28 years and grew up in a small village on the shores of Lake Victoria in Western-Kenya. Orphaned at a young age, I was forced to earn a living my own way. By the time I was six, I was laboring on the fishing boats, cleaning fish and mending nets under the hot sun and going for fishing expedition the whole night to help fetch for my family.

My dad left nothing, not land, not livestock, not money, not educated children but a big family with no one to care for. I spent more days going to fish than school in a week. I could only attend school one or two days a week. I dropped out of school on two occasions but my teachers couldn’t let me go because I was bright, they kept on looking for me to get back to school. I did my Kenya Certificate of Primary Education in 2001 emerging the top in the school.

Life took a turn for the better when well-wishers in the local community gave me chance to attend secondary education. Thanks to their help and my own perseverance even though at this stage I was also in and out of school for lack of school fees for the 4 years. I acquired education and later moved to Nairobi.

There I encountered many children who were missing out on education because their parents could not afford the nominal fees and required uniforms of the government primary schools. Other children were orphans. Together with likeminded community members we started Fortune Community Centre and I thought of education for orphans and vulnerable children and I started Fortune Learners Centre as project under Fortune Community Centre to teach, house and feed these children, asking those with family members to pay only what they were able and orphans and other vulnerable children pay nothing as we seek on ways on how to get them helped. Fortune Learners Centre is the realization of my dream to care for orphaned and vulnerable children. My desire to care for the less fortunate started from when I was a young boy. Being brought up in a village by a widow, I witnessed how children were suffering after being abandoned or when they lose their parents due to AIDS and any other disease and I vowed to help the way I can.

In any community, children are vitally important. I believe that our children will be the solution to the world issues and problems and the best way to help orphans and vulnerable children out of poverty is to educate them.

Let us join hands and leave a positive impact on the lives of children.
